Coatings Released for Steel, Metal Surfaces

New coatings for steel and metal surfaces have been introduced by PPG's Protective and Marine Coatings unit. According to the company, the new formulations deliver enhanced application properties with an optional satin finish.

PPG says the coatings, made with the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based firm’s polysiloxane technology, have improved flexibility to thwart the cracking under stress that plagues difficult steel and building exterior applications.

The company notes that PSX 805, which was designed for use in indoor spaces with strict chemical emissions limits, boasts a durable satin-sheen finish that conceals imperfections that can dot metal surfaces.
